    Does doing badly in one or two trial exams affect the atar overall much?

    Hello. Today I had my English paper two, and I know I haven't gotten my marks yet obviously, but I personally feel I did not do my best today, and section two I didn't write much at all, so I expect a low mark for that, it's terrible. I was sort of feeling ''Oh who cares'', but I don't want...

    How's everyone's trial prep going?

    To be honest - I haven't done much at all. However I know that I do deserve the break I have given myself due to the last few weeks being extremely busy for me in both school and home. So, that is my sort of ''excuse''. But I don't want to prolong this so yeah. I know what I have to do, so it...

    Is it concerning if one hasn't made many notes?

    Lol i'll see about the experiment. I just wondered because I realised i'm not that worried about it at all, and whether that was normal?

    Is it concerning if one hasn't made many notes?

    I realised a while ago I haven't really been making notes. Honestly, I find them to be a waste of time however when it comes to certain sections in topics like Modern, I make notes including arguments and facts and historians. But I do that when i have a test coming up... I used to regularly...

    Confused on dropping a subject. :(

    Thanks! Okay, well I assume I am doing well in my other subjects? Okay so study time of 20%, how much would that be in an average week? Because now that I realise I don't really work on practice papers for example because I don't feel ready to do that yet and we haven't finished all our...

    Feeling like you did horrible in an essay?

    Thanks guys. Well, the assessment is worth 20% and I still have the speech to do on Monday too which is the first part. I think in terms of today's assessment, I did not prepare for it as much as I could have and needed to start a little earlier like I usually do. I mean I shouldn't worry too...

    Feeling like you did horrible in an essay?

    So, I know that it was only just today that I finished my Modern HSC style essay question. It is part of our assessment and the other part is doing a speech. However, I genuinely feel that I performed my worst in this essay, and I have a feeling my marks will not be too good. I know I will...

    Confused on dropping a subject. :(

    Thanks for your input. Actually today I went and spoke to my deputy principal and my extension teacher. It really gave me a new insight into what I am actually thinking of doing. Although she knows it is up to me in the end, she said that it can really help in my ATAR if I do well, and...

    Confused on dropping a subject. :(

    Thank you so much. Believe me, I have gotten many opinions I think maybe too many! I mean, gut feelings cannot always be good, but when I think about it, I am more convinced I will drop it. I'm trying to not make a big deal out of it TOO much but it does worry me. You are right in the passion...

    Confused on dropping a subject. :(

    From the time I posted this I have been getting countless opinions and many talks today lol, but from now I would say that I am strongly leaning towards dropping it. I mean, I will speak to my teacher about it and tell her what my feelings about it are (which I don't know how to approach...
